A ticketing system will be used for this year’s Isle of MTV concert to avoid overcrowding but the event will remain free.

The Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) yesterday said that, for the first time, the Isle of MTV Malta Special show, taking place on Wednesday 27th June 2018, will be making use of a ticketing system, whilst remaining a free entrance concert for all to enjoy.

This is being done through a partnership with international ticketing specialist Ticketmaster/Universal “to ensure a higher level of health and safety, ensuring that all present can enjoy the concert tranquilly.”

Free registration should be carried out through the official www.isleofmtv.com website.

Fans will have the option to pre-register for the event, which will be open for two weeks prior to the official ticketing launch. Those fans that choose to pre-register will be able to apply for ticket registration 48 hours before the official launch, and will also enter into a ballot for the opportunity to win a pair of VIP tickets to the event.

“Fans that want to attend the event need not worry, as tickets are being issued for the maximum capacity of il-Fosos Square, which was determined by health & safety as well as security consultants, and we are confident that the tickets made available will be able to meet both local and international demand. A maximum of 4 tickets per individual can be applied for. On the day of the event, both printed and digital tickets will be accepted at the various entrances to the concert,” MTA said.

To ensure the safety of all attendees, only fans with a legitimate ticket will be allowed to enter the event. While there are no age restrictions, those under the age of 14 will need to be accompanied by an adult, and all attendees should have a form of identification on them.

If the maximum capacity is reached during the registration period, the website will not accept any additional requests for tickets. Fans are being urged to register on the website as soon as the applications are open, so as to avoid any possibility of disappointment.

A dedicated Isle of MTV box office will be in operation locally on specific dates to handle ticket registrations, answer queries and manage any event related issues. This will also aid those fans that are not able to access the website or do not have a valid email address.

Should there be any enquiries relating to ticketing, fans can contact – [email protected] or visit the Isle of MTV box office. Fans should also email [email protected] if they are no longer able to attend the main show if they have registered for tickets, as then we will then look to reissue their ticket(s).
